According to American Automotive Association (AAA), teenage drives pose a great risk not only to other people on the road, but mostly to passengers sitting next to them.
Most of the people that are being killed in teen driver accidents are people other than teenagers themselves, state the results of a 10-year analysis of crash data by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. The analysis revealed that nearly one third of people who were killed in car crashes were drivers between the ages of 15 and 17, and nearly two-thirds of the victims in a deadly accidents were passengers, people sitting in the other vehicles, motorcyclists and pedestrians.
"For every teen driver killed in a crash, almost two other people are also killed," said AAA President and CEO Robert L. Darbelnet, and added that there is undoubted relationship between teen driver safety and the safety of other people out in the streets.
